The location combines tranquillity and grandeur, making it a perfect sanctuary away from the bustle of city life yet conveniently close to Cape Town's iconic attractions.

As you step into the grand undercover driveway, the sheer elegance of this six-bedroom Victorian manor immediately envelops you. Enter through the stylish lobby and take the lift or the sweeping Hollywood-style staircase, which sets the tone for the manor’s regal charm.

On the first and second floors, the manor unfolds into an array of exquisite living spaces. The double-volume lounge offers an airy yet intimate setting, while the bar and multiple dining areas—ranging from the formal dining room to a relaxed patio setting—provide the perfect backdrops for gatherings. The fully equipped kitchen is a chef’s dream, with a sleek island and top-of-the-line appliances. Each bedroom is a private retreat, exuding sophistication, with ensuite bathrooms, mountain-facing balconies, and elegant furnishings. The master suite is especially decadent, featuring his-and-her bathrooms, a walk-in closet, and even an outdoor shower with panoramic views.

Step outside, and the villa’s allure continues. The large, heated swimming pool, surrounded by sun loungers, invites you to bask under the African sun. The lush garden, koi pond, and tranquil courtyard create an idyllic outdoor escape. Whether enjoying a meal alfresco at the gas braai or sipping coffee on one of the many terraces, the breathtaking mountain vistas provide a constant reminder of this unique villa's splendour.
